Running mate of Progressive Party of Maldives Dr. Mohamed Shaheem Ali Saeed has called on all political parties to support the incumbent president.
There is no opposition in Maldives and the whole country is united in wanting rapid development and an advanced economy, Dr. Mohamed Shaheem expressed speaking to media upon arrival to Male' city after concluding his campaign trip to Gaafu Alifu Atoll. Dr. Shaheem called on all political parties with different ideologies to follow the leadership of President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom to achieve those objectives. During his visits to the islands he met with people with other political opinion to inquire more about their needs, disregarding the political differences, revealed Dr. Shaheem.
Moreover, adding that he is not campaigning to achieve a political purpose but rather as a collective national effort, Dr. Shaheem said all Maldivians must work to achieve national objectives. Noting the campaign efforts of the president will be more positive, Shaheem assured defaming other political parties and political leaders does not fall under the campaigning strategy of the ruling party.
The running mate of President Yameen commenced his campaign efforts from his home atoll and visited all the islands where he conducted door-to-door visits. He was warmly welcomed by all the islands of the atoll.
